Cold air intake sucked in water. What can i do to make my car start?
I was driving my 2007 Honda Civic Si and I passed through a fairly large puddle and it shut off.
I tried turning it on twice and it didn't seem to crank.
What steps can I take to fix my problem?
Hopefully my engine isn't hydrolocked.
It takes very little water to hydrolock your engine.
That cold air intake which is a worthless shiny thing may well have cost you your engine.
Pull all the plugs and see if the engine turns over and which cylinder the water cones out of.
If it ddoes turn over and you get water yes you hydrolocked the engine.
Car makers spend a lot of time and money designing things like air intakes for real life driving.
Using specialist racing parts on road cars is pointless as there are lots of other things to change. A race engine has to last a few hundred miles not years.
Your first line say it all. Why would the last line hope for something different.
- What will adding a cold air intake filter do to my 1997 corolla? Do these things add mpg? Hp? I don't plan on ricing it out I was just wondering. I sometimes see old hondas and toyotas and they have these along with a ridiculous body kits lol.
- How can I stop water from flowing back into my Honda WB30 Water Pump 1100 LPM 80mm Outlet when the heavy duty hose attached gets blocked? I have a 1000l take of water attached to a Honda WB30 Water Pump 1100 LPM 80mm Outlet, alongside a heavy duty hose I use to water window boxes around London. When I park up the van and have to cross the road to water certain jobs, the pipe is occasionally temporarily blocked when a car runs over the hose pipe. This sends water back to the pump, and eventually breaks it. What can I do to stop the water/ pressure breaking the pump?
- Is the AEM V2 cold air intake worth it for my 97 honda prelude? So i'm thinking of buying a cold air intake and i've heard the v2 is a really good one. Is it worth the money? How much and what would i gain from it? Just basically need to know details and all that stuff. Thankz a lot guys
- Is the 1985 Honda CR 500 water pump gear shaft compatible with the 86-2001 Honda CR 500 water pump gear shaft? I have a 1985 CR 500 and the water pump gear shaft broke. It has been discontinued from Honda, and no one else has it. It is a metal gear. The one's for the 1986-2001 CR 500 are plastic. If I have to use plastic, I will. However, I prefer not to. If anyone knows where I can get the OEM 1985 Honda CR 500 gear shaft, I would forever be grateful.
